Seeking Failure:
How to Practice Courage, Vulnerability, and Resilience in Your Life and Career Leader: Tracy Melvin, WiNN Michigan State University Chapter What constrains you? What terrifies you? What if you fail at everything you’ve been working hard for? We surround ourselves with a blanket of fear about failing, but what if we built ourselves up with a new kind of courage – the true courage of living an authentic, vulnerable and resilient existence? This session teaches experiential resilience through radical empathy, understanding criticism, building “soul-rituals” and examining the self. We will also open the session for storytelling about wading through big failures and what leadership means to all of us. Please join us in a very personal WiNNsday! Tracy is an amazing woman and wears many hats! She is a PhD candidate in the Applied Forest and Wildlife Ecology Lab in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Michigan State University; Leadership Development Fellow in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources; a Student Trustee for The Nature Conservancy, Michigan Field Office; and Director of Strategic Partnerships for Ecologists Without Borders!

Susana Rocha Mier will share her experience creating and leading the WiNN Chapter in Los Tuxtlas, Mexico, and will talk about protecting the coral reefs of Los Tuxtlas through Ecotourism. Meet WiNN Baja California Sur!
In December 2019, Irma González, director of the protected areas Islands of the Gulf of California and Espírito Santo Archipelago, and Ixchel López Olvera, Director of a non-profit organization, decided to create WiNN-BCS. Baja California Sur is home to many civil society organizations and research centers focused on conservation, sustainable development or defense of the territory. Given this diversity, we decided to start with a small group of women to identify possibilities to create a platform to interact: WiNN BCS. We have had a few meetings, but all of them are based on collaboration and they have brought us incredible lessons. Human-felid conflict is one the the most urgent issues facing big-cat conservation across the globe. Join Samantha Helle, Dr. Aditi Sharma, and Nelanie La Cruz as they discuss tiger, leopard, jaguar, and puma conservation. We will travel across the globe (virtually) to discuss the different social, political, and ecological contexts of human-big cat conflicts in Guyana, India, and Nepal.
Nelanie La Cruz has performed human-jaguar and human-puma conflict research as a Research Officer for the Guyana Wildlife Conservation and Management Commission. Dr. Aditi Sharma is the Senior Veterinary Officer in Rajaji Tiger Reserve Uttarakhand Forest Department in India, with over 17 years experience in the wildlife sector. Samantha Helle is a Conservation Biologist from the USA who has been working on tiger conservation and human-wildlife conflict mitigation in Nepal since 2014. Let's talk big cats and what saving them looks like on the ground and across the world.
